Tic-Tac House Components Move with your Mood

Here is an interesting idea from Brazilian Architectural firm Forte, Gimenes & Marcondes Ferraz, that was apparently produced for Wallpaper* magazine and shown in Arch Daily.

Only the bathrooms and kitchen are fixed; the bedrooms and other spaces adjust and pivot.

It actually could make a lot of sense for places with really variable climates; where it gets really hot in summer or really cold in winter, it could fold up and contract into a smaller, conditioned space.

When it is a temperate and comfortable season, it can open up like a flower, with all kinds of outdoor spaces, protected by that giant sliding sunsreen bris de soliel on wheels.

It is a bit lavish and over-the-top, but hey, it's Wallpaper*. The idea could be applied at a smaller scale. The main take-away is the idea of the tight, fixed service core and the light, flexible supported spaces.
